In Lost in Oz, 12-year-old Dorothy Gale discovers her mother’s
magical travel journal hidden beneath the floorboards of their Kansas
home. The book triggers a tornado, which rips her house from its
foundation and transports Dorothy and her dog, Toto, to Emerald City, a
bustling, modern, metropolis. In order to get home, Dorothy learns she
must acquire every element on Oz’s “periodic table of magic” – while the
city faces the worst magic drought in eons! Along the way, Dorothy and
Toto meet unlikely allies in West, Ojo, Reigh the Lion, Scarecrow, and
Glinda the Good, who are each eager to help, but struggling with their
own problems. Together, they navigate the magical landscape of Oz while
undergoing their own unique journeys of self-discovery.

“We’re excited for families everywhere to experience the magic of this
serialized action-adventure comedy, led by a fearless female character
and featuring a diverse group of friends,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of
Kids Programming at Amazon Studios. “The Lost in Oz pilot and the
extended special were extremely popular with young viewers and parents
alike, and the new series, poised to be the next Oz-based
classic, serves up even more fun for fans.”

Lost in Oz is created by Bureau of Magic and animated by Polygon
Pictures. The series is developed and executive produced by Abram
Makowka, Darin
Mark, Jared
Mark, and Mark
Warshaw (East Los High). The Amazon Original Special, Lost
in Oz: Extended Adventure, won three 2017 Daytime Emmy Awards for
“Outstanding Children’s Animated Program,” “Outstanding Sound Mixing –
Animation,” and “Outstanding Sound Editing – Animation.”

it's modern and fanciful, with lots of technology and a hint of magic
here and there.”

“Sometimes I watch shows with my grandsons purely because they like
them. This time, not only did THEY enjoy it...I loved it as well! The
characters were lovable, the story line was well written, and the
animation was terrific. This is a successful modern twist on an old
classic.”

“It's a great show that the family can watch together.”
